THANKS ANNA RUFER FOR GREAT PHOTOS, Ann Woolliams
The 2013 Christmas Rowing Regatta hosted record numbers of 2190 athletes competing in perfect conditions over the weekend. Connor Broughton and Andre Le Lievre had the fastest time of the total
49 crews entered in the heats, and won the A Final of the Boys Under 17 Double Sculls 2 lengths ahead of the field in a time of 7:08.64. With that winning time they could have entered the Premier Men’s
Double Scull and placed 8th in the A Final –behind five NZ Rowing Summer Crews and two Regional Performance Centre crews.
“ It was good to see where we sat compared to the other under 17 competitors” said Connor Broughton“and to see that our hard work is already paying off and that we have a good foundation that we can
continue to improve on.”
At 16 years old, they also showed exceptional promise with a 4th place in the Under 18 double sculls. Finishing in 3rd position over all 31 crews in the heats, the young crew gained an honourable 4th place in a time of
7:26.57; seven seconds behind the Whakatane winning crew time of 7:19:31.
“The tougher competition was good as it showed us the higher standard of racing we need to be doing if we want to keep winning” said Andre Le Lievre “and this is good encouragement to keep improving.”
Other results from the school rowers included two Western Heights High School crews; Bradley Grant and Lewis Morrell taking 3rd in the Boys Under 18 Coxless Pair Oar and Grant, Morrell , joined by Stephen Wright , Conner Spackman and coxed by Keely Gage in the Boys Under 18 Coxed Four Oar taking 2nd place.All three place - winning crews are coached by Glen Reichardt, Club Captain of the Rotorua Rowing Club.
Rotorua Rowing Club’s (RRC) Jeff Francis (NZ Summer Squad) won 1st place in the Men’s Premier Coxless Quad Sculls and RRC’s Julia Edward (NZ Summer Squad) breezed ahead of rival Louise Ayling by 0.014 seconds to take 3rd place in the Women’s Premier Single and there were three lightweight scullers in the top 4 places. Edward took a turn as cox for the Men’s Open Eight Oar event and took her crew to 2nd place.
